Holy poo poo another Kaurismaki box set. I've never seen Total Balalaika Show and I'm literally sort of stomping my feet in joy at my desk.

Skal (The Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror); filmmaker Richard Stanley (Hardware, original director of the ill-fated 1996 remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau) New interviews with Devo founding members Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, whose manifesto is rooted in themes from Island of Lost Souls Theatrical trailer PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Christine Smallwood ECLIPSE #29: AKI KAURISMAKI'S LENINGRAD COWBOYS (DVD - Oct 18)  Leningrad Cowboys Go America Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses Total Balalaika Show (plus 5 music videos) My take: I haven't seen any of the mainline releases, and I'm curious about all of them. It really bums me out that I can't get Criterions on Netflix anymore. I'll have to wait for the library to get them, and I'll have to settle for DVD instead of Blu-Rays. The Kaurismaki set is an unexpected surprise. I adore Go America, I can get rid of my lousy Balalaika Show DVD, and I finally get to see Moses! JOY!

I'm really curious to see how that Island of Lost Souls restoration looks. Interested to see the rest of the mainline releases, don't care about the eclipse set. Interesting to see yet another barebones release in Identification of a Woman.

I've only seen Island of Lost Souls via a scratchy old library VHS some years ago, so getting a blu ray of it is going to be amazing.

Annoying question for a film discussion thread, but when does it actually kick in your member discount for Barnes and Noble when checking out online? I ask because when I set up my account in-store, they jacked it up in some way so that it acknowledged I was a member online and had an expiration date, but it didn't apply the discount. I went in-store to get it fixed, but I haven't tried since then. I seem to get pretty far into the checkout process but it doesn't tack on any additional member discount, it just gives me the free member shipping so far... Ninja edit: Ah poo poo looking again, is that an in-store discount only, and the free shipping is the only online discount? Brian Fellows fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Jul 15, 2011 |

Yay, my Red Desert showed up today.  Boo, my Red Desert has an indent that slightly ripped the art. Barnes And Noble uses the shittiest shipping packaging possible. It was my movie in the equivalent of a cardboard sleeve.

Seriously. If any of the films you want are digipacks, do yourself a favor and go to the store. B&N packaging sucks major balls. My copy of Night of The Hunter looks like it was sat on by a fat man. I'm going to have to go to the store and exchange it if I can.

Any word on whether Dazed and Confused is getting any new supplements, or is it just a straight re-release of the DVD? The DVD itself is pretty high quality when played on an upconverting blu-ray player.

My copy of Night of the Hunter also came with some slight damage to the box. I'd go to an actual B&N store to get my Criterions, but the one closest to me closed down a long time ago and the next closest one doesn't even have a movie & TV section.

I don't know the returning policy of B&N, but whenever I order media with Amazon and it arrives hosed up, I just send it back. I had this a couple of times now and they would always send me a replacement right away. I suppose B&N would work the same way?

It's the nature of the packaging, so don't expect getting a pristine one. Criterion should have used a digipack like Seven Samurai.

Was about to order the Orpheus blu, but Orphic Trilogy is in stock!  Not liking that Elevator to the Gallows is treated as full-price. Why have a Criterion sale that excludes a few other Criterions? Has anyone noticed the shrinking window of opportunity for discount codes? I have been using them to counteract the cost of express shipping. One of the codes has expired, another cannot be used twice; my third and last code has been deployed on Orphic Trilogy and Simon of the Desert (love 'em). Past sales have soured me to B&N's free shipping that takes over two weeks to get here.

Quick question: Does anyone have the Lady Eve Criterion? It's one of my favorite movies ever, and I never noticed that there was a Criterion of it, is it worth the $30 or should I wait for a half off sale? I realize it came out a while back, so there might not be too many people who grabbed it.

Half off sale is going on right now, but it's very much worth $30 anyway.

Jeeeez. I'm not sure how I feel about the ridiculous amounts of misogyny and sadism (even for a noir), but Kiss Me Deadly was definitely the craziest noir I've ever seen. The twist came totally out of left field...so bizarre and awesome.

Watched Revanche last night after blind buying it. Absolutely fantastic film which kept me gripped throughout. Also successfully avoided what I expected to be a cliched ending. Beautiful Blu transfer, too.

OK initial haul (meaning this is just what I bought in store) was: (Blu) The Great Dictator (love Chaplin) Paths of Glory The Night of The Hunter Days of Heaven (DVD) Ace in the Hole (I swear I don't really love Kirk Douglas like these purchases would imply) The Friends of Eddie Coyle (love Robert Mitchum) The only blind buy here is Days of Heaven. I figure I love all of Malick's other stuff, so he earned it. According to my excel file that I update every time new releases are announced (...), there are still 22 Blurays and nine DVDs that I'm interested in owning. Since all of you are dying to know, 11 of those Blus are low priorities that I already own the DVD on, and of the combined 31 I'm interested in, and eight are movies I haven't seen yet.
